Democratic Senatorial Campaign CommitteeThis election is about more than the names at the top of the ticket. It's about supporting great candidates up and down the ballot -- including Democrats who are fighting to flip the Senate.
That's why I'm excited to announce I'll be hosting a virtual grassroots event tomorrow, October 16 to raise money for some outstanding Democrats in tight Senate races -- and I'm calling on you to join me. All you have to do to secure your spot is make a gift of $500, $1000, or whatever fits into your budget.
Our country's future hangs on what we do over the next few weeks. It's up to all of us to join together and elect a whole bunch of Democrats to the Senate who are ready to create change. I'm talking about folks like:
Sen. Gary Peters (D-MI), an effective leader who's in a tougher re-election fight than just about any Democratic senator. Gary needs our help to hold his pivotal Senate seat.
Theresa Greenfield (D-IA), a resilient daughter of farmers and a small business leader who Iowans can count on. Theresa's going to protect Social Security and affordable health care, but she needs our help to win.
MJ Hegar (D-TX), a combat veteran and working mom whose tenacity and compassion will win progress for Texans of all stripes. MJ can flip this seat with our help.
Jon Ossoff (D-GA), an investigative journalist who is committed to investing in infrastructure, clean energy, and strengthening our civil rights laws. Jon is neck-and-neck in recent polls and could pull ahead with our support.
Rev. Raphael Warnock (D-GA), a fierce advocate for health care access, voting rights, and the dignity of working people who has dedicated his life to service. Rev. Warnock presides over Dr. King's former pulpit at Ebenezer Baptist Church, and he needs our help to make history as Georgia's first-ever Black senator.
Whether these candidates win or lose depends on what we do now, together, to support them before Election Day. That's why I'm personally asking for your support -- and your attendance at tomorrow's big event.
Please, if you haven't yet, will you chip in $500 to help Democrats flip the Senate? I'll have much more to say at tomorrow's event, but your $500 will make a bigger impact if it's made today.

Grateful you're in this fight,
